The Phoenix Coyotes arent being kind to my heart…or any of their fans hearts. For the third time in four games against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Desert Dogs took a one goal lead into the final 90 seconds before allowing the tying goal. Thankfully, as in game one, the Coyotes rallied in overtime, survived a few opportunities from Chicago and then Mikkel Boedker took a chip from Boyd Gordon, rushed up ice, and pushed one past Corey Crawford for the second straight game, to give the Coyotes...

Letter to my younger self about love

Letter to my younger self about love

By Aunty Becky

There are oh-so-many things I wish I?d told my younger self about love, if I?d known then what I know now. If I could, I would travel back in time to have a chatty poo with Younger Me about matters of the heart.

So I?ve penned a letter to her from Older and Wiser Me with all the love lessons I?ve learned and would have passed on ? if only I?d known better. a

Dear Younger Me,

You?re a sweet thing, you know that? Behind that gruff exterior lies a very soft heart. That soft heart, while frustrating at your age, will allow you to do some very good things in the world later in life. Embrace your soft heart and remind...

Crimes of passion on upward curve

Murders arising out of love affairs and suspicion of infidelity are on the rise in Tamil Nadu.

Police statistics reveal that the number of murders owing to love affairs/sexual causes, increased from 155 in 2008 to 347 in 2011, recording an increase of more than 100 per cent, surpassing conventional offences. While the police say they can hardly prevent these types of crimes, psychologists opine that lack of value-based education is contributing to the erosion in moral and cultural values.

The intriguing fact, according to investigators, is that a number of suicides driven by issues relating to illicit affairs are often hushed up and attributed to non-existing medical condition....

There is no perfect college

(MCT) — Every year about this time, when the future is rapping hard on the doors of high school seniors, I get a smattering of letters from students.

They write because they haven’t gotten into the college of their dreams, and they’re wondering if I have any guidance or consolation.

One of these letters arrived in my email last week, from a suburban Chicago student who had been wait-listed at her preferred college.

“I have been simultaneously encouraged by everyone to stay optimistic,” she wrote, “but also choose another school and mentally commit to it. The former advice was easy to follow. The latter, quite challenging. I have become...

2012 NHL Playoffs: Why This Year’s Playoffs Is the Start of a New Era in Hockey

Hockey is changing, and the guys in front of the net are stronger than ever. Scoring goals are more important now because a missed chance can easily cost a team a game, and no one can afford that now.

Defense wins championships in the NHL. If you can stop shots, you can and will win. Expect shutouts, low-scoring games and physical games to take over the rest of the NHL playoffs.

The bottom line is this: Whoever gets the best goalie play has the best chance at winning the Stanley Cup. I cant recall a time where the Stanley Cup has been as wide open as it is now.

And soon, we wont be able to recall a time where teams without great goalies have won the Stanley Cup.
